Gujarat’s Ports: World’s Gateway to India

EARLIER, GUJARAT WAS THE GATEWAY TO THE GLOBE FROM INDIA. NOW IT IS BECOMING THE GLOBAL GATEWAY TO INDIA: SHRI MODI AT THE RECENTLY CONCLUDED VIBRANT GUJARAT GLOBAL SUMMIT

WE HAVE LAUNCHED AN AMBITIOUS PROGRAMME FOR ALL ROUND DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COASTAL BELTS. ALONG WITH THIS, WE ARE SETTING UP NEW PORT CITIES IN COASTAL LOCATIONS. INVESTMENTS IN WORLD-CLASS RAIL-ROAD-PIPELINE INFRASTRUCTURE LINKING THE COASTLINE HAVE HELPED GUJARAT’S PORTS DOMINATE INDIA’S MARITIME SCENARIO: SHRI MODI

GUJARAT’S PORTS ACCOUNT FOR 26% OF TOTAL NATIONAL CARGO AND 72% OF CARGO HANDLED BY PORTS UNDER STATE GOVERNMENTS OF INDIA. IF THE KANDLA PORT IS ALSO INCLUDED, GUJARAT HANDLES 35% OF THE NATIONAL CARGO

At the recently concluded Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, Shri Narendra Modi emphasized upon Gujarat’s growing importance in the world. He said, “Earlier, Gujarat was the gateway to the Globe from India. Now it is becoming the Global gateway to India.” This is certainly true metaphorically, because of Gujarat’s engagements with the world in the fields of Industry, Education and Technology, it is also true literally, since today, Gujarat’s ports account for 26% of total national cargo and 72% of cargo handled by ports under State Governments of India. If the Kandla port is included, Gujarat handles 35% of the national cargo.

This has been possible because of Shri Narendra Modi’s vision, leadership and his focus on the holistic development of the entire coastal region. Gujarat has a coastline of 1600 Km, which is the largest among any state in India. Because of the neglect of previous governments; the coastal areas were severely underdeveloped. After 2001, the Government decided to convert the crisis into an opportunity by developing a ‘New Gujarat...

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2...
